Ingredients

• 1 pound Shrimp, large (peeled and deveined)
• 1 cup Coconut milk (unsweetened)
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon Lime zest
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 6 pieces Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine coconut milk, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, chopped cilantro, red chili flakes, vegetable oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the marinade until well blended.

Step 3

Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or pan to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, about 4-5 shrimp per skewer, leaving a bit of space between each shrimp.

Step 6

Grill the shrimp skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn opaque and slightly charred. Avoid overcooking, as shrimp can become rubbery.

Step 7

Transfer the grilled skewers to a serving plate. Garnish with additional chopped cilantro, lime wedges, or a sprinkle of red chili flakes if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately with a side of coconut rice or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
